Upon These Stones-at The Barricade Lyrics

Upon These Stones-at The Barricade lyrics

Students



 Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade



 Let them come in their legions



 And they will be met



 Have faith in yourselves



 And don't be afraid



 Let's give 'em a screwing



 That they'll never forget!



 This is where it begins!



 And if I should die in the fight to be free



 Where the fighting is hardest 



 There will I be



 Let them come if they dare



 We'll be there!



 



 Army Officer [Offstage]



 You at the barricade listen to this



 No one is coming to help you to fight



 You're on your own



 You have no friends



 Give up your guns - or die!



 



 Enjolras



 Damn their warnings, damn their lies



 They will see the people rise!



 



 Students



 Damn their warnings, damn their lies



 They will see the people rise!



 



 [Javert climbs over the barricade.]



 



 Javert



 Listen my friends



 I have done as I said



 I have been to their lines



 I have counted each man



 I will tell what I can



 Better be warned



 They have armies to spare



 And the danger is real



 We will need all our cunning



 To bring them to heel.



 



 Enjolras



 Have faith



 If you know what their movements are



 We'll spoil their game



 There are ways that a people can fight



 We shall overcome their power



 



 Javert



 I have overheard their plans



 There will be no attack tonight



 They intend to starve us out



 Before they start a proper fight



 Concentrate their force



 Hit us from the right.
